Everyone knows that having a high vertical jump is one of the measures of a successful athlete, whether you’re a soccer goalie, a basketball forward, a football running back or a dancer.
If you’re serious about wanting to play sports competitively, there may be no better way to getting the edge on your competition than by gaining inches on your vertical.
Rituals help establish a sense of meaning and control in the unpredictable world. These behaviors may follow a specific script, but often times they are highly individual. We celebrate the outdoors by engaging with her beauty. Getting into the right headspace by way of practicing a pre-run flow can prime your intentions, and amplify your experience.
Rio Lakeshore hasn’t missed a day of running in years. Already logging over 2500 miles this year, he is set on running over 5000 miles in 2021 alone. He does this not because he has to, but because it sets him up to be a better father, friend, poet, musician and of course, runner. His rituals are key to his preparation and process of moving through the city and trails, healthily: in mind, body and soul. Video Rating: / 5
Follow Roark Run Amok’s odyssey through The Speed Project.
Amidst an unusually hot spring, a small team of six set out from the Santa Monica Pier to run as fast as their bodies would allow to Las Vegas, Nevada. What transpired over the next 42 hours was the stuff of dreams: A cerebral, punk rock, beer and electrolyte fueled dream. Faced with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, team Run Amok had only one option: keep moving.

For those not familiar, today the phrase “run amok” (also spelled “amuck”) is often used to describe such things as children making a mess while they run around and play or the like. Classically, though, it more resembled the modern phrase “going postal” or someone who just snaps for various reasons and goes on a murderous rampage, very similar to what is depicted in the Michael Douglas’ film, Falling Down.
